Background
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in a continuing effort
to improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of the National
Airspace System, has been working with industry to develop and
demonstrate new surveillance technologies such as Automatic Dependent
Surveillance--Broadcast (ADS-B) through such efforts as Safe Flight 21
program, the Capstone program (currently being used in Alaska), and
other United States National Airspace System (NAS) programs. To assist
the aviation community in obtaining FAA approval of related systems and
equipment needed to support these services, the Flight Standards and
Aircraft Certification Services developed the proposed AC.
